    This study identifies IL4R, IMPA2, and PRR4 as significant therapeutic targets in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP).

  • 2

    Multi-omics data integration revealed 4460 differentially expressed genes and 732 hub genes related to CRSwNP pathogenesis.

  • 3

    Machine learning analysis highlighted IL4R and IMPA2 as upregulated and PRR4 as downregulated in CRSwNP, indicating their roles in the disease.

  • 4

    In vitro experiments demonstrated that targeting IL4R and IMPA2, and overexpressing PRR4, can protect against inflammation and restore epithelial integrity.

  • 5

    The findings provide new molecular targets and potential therapeutic drugs for improving diagnosis and treatment strategies for CRSwNP.
